Apple’s iPad Air 3 to Resemble the iPad Pro? [Rumors]
In any case, more clarity regarding the fates of both the iPad Air 3 and the Apple Watch 2 will likely come into better focus during the March 15 event now expected to take place at the Apple Town Hall in Cupertino, California. The third-generation iPad Air 3 would be the ideal model to introduce Apple Pencil support to Apple’s 9.7-inch tablet lineup.
There are speculations that the new iPad Air will be released at a very affordable price of $578.
The anticipation for the iPad Air 3 launch continues to heighten as the buzz for a March announcement remains intact. 2GB of memory allows the iPad to perform admirably even if there are tons of apps open in the background.
With these new developments, expect the iPad Air 3 to be a bit thicker and larger than the iPad Pro and Air 2.
While still a hypothetical standoff because the Air 3 is yet to hit the store shelves, it’s obvious that the iPad Air 3 vs Surface Pro 4 battle will kick off soon.
At this time the iPad Pro is the only Apple tablet to include Apple Pencil support. In addition, supposed leaked design specs indicate the iPad Air 3 is moving from a single to a dual stereo speaker setup, the same as the one found in the new iPad Pro. Their last release was the iPad Air 2, which was received well by the public because of its high-end features. However, a recent report from DigiTimes suggests that the iPad Air 3 could come with 4GB of RAM to match the iPad Pro’s own 4GB of memory. Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst for KGI Securities, believes that 3D touch will not be present in the upcoming tablet because of production issues. The 16GB variant of the iPad Air 2 can be bought starting at $499.
Tech critics are wondering whether the Air 3 will be powered by the A9X chip, which also powers the iPad Pro, or 6S’ A9 chip. Rumors also claim that the company could use the iPad Air 3 to test their improved low-light shooting technology that it plans to incorporate in the iPhone 7.
One of the most celebrated line of the brand Apple is the iPad Air.
